Figure 3. Clinical course.

The blue bar graph shows the daily volume of ascitic fluid in the abdominal drainage tube. Abdominal drainage was temporarily discontinued at 21 days of age. Ascites reaccumulated after the discontinuation of prednisolone at 31 days of age. The patient repeatedly developed bacterial infections (red arrow). Bisoprolol is also used to treat hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. At 42 days of age, dopamine, dobutamine, and inhaled nitric oxide were initiated for hypotension and hypoxemia due to worsening ascites and pericardial effusion.
